Stolen guns info

[nemesis]

Almost sounds like there might be a need for a website...

Which antigunners would flood with random serial numbers just because.

OP, I used to have a friend on the PD that I would call and he would check the number for me. I could only do this after I had purchased the gun as he couldn't always do it "immediately."

When I purchase a gun, or sell a gun, I check the other person's driver's license, have him sign a bill of sale, I do the same, etc. I've lost some transactions because not everybody will do that. But IMO someone selling a gun they know to be stolen will be reluctant to divulge their name.

I'm a bit surprised that the police don't set up a place to do checks for stolen guns at gun shows. Seems like the only people that would lose out are those possessing stolen property.
It'd take away from the anti's who want to close the so called gun show loophole too.

davek, what about the folks who unknowingly bought a stolen gun? All of a sudden, they're out a gun and their money.

What about hotguns.com?

Yup. That's life.

If I had a gun that was found to be stolen I'd want the legitimate owner to have it back. And if I can't backtrack to where I got it that's my fault isn't it?

But it's OK to buy or sell a gun to them? Nope.

No offence , but I'm not giving personal info to just any ol gun peddler on the street.

Luck to Ya..8)

Nor should you. Giving your personal info to a stranger on the street opens one up to more problems than you can ever imagine.
